Expert take: what APPSC really tests

APPSC Group 1’s Prelims is notable for giving General Aptitude its own full paper (Paper 2), alongside the General Studies Paper 1 — each 120 questions with 1/3 negative marking. That means reasoning, data interpretation and mental ability are not a minor add-on here but half the screening stage, so candidates who only prepare GS and treat aptitude as an afterthought tend to underperform.
